Sure it's a wonderful cam, but I prefer my Leica CL...Still waiting for any news from Leica.

[WvE]

My M10-P is more than sufficient for now. Perhaps the M11-P may change my mind.

[maitoparta]

Nope. M9 still going strong.

[Herman.]

Perhaps it is time to go back, and buy a MP the ultimate tool

[Gibbo]

I’m very happily married at the moment. I don’t see this offers anything worth putting that in jeopardy.

no for sure, it is not a big step over M10-R, my opinion

[cheeseyk]

I'm sure it's going to be wonderful for a lot of people, But I'll stick with my M10 R thanks.

[Crem]

Too bad there isn’t an option that says “waiting for the m11p”

[sebben]

Im waiting for the M11D for the pure digital M experience.

I'm certainly thinking about it at first of all I need some advice about what case to get, whether I should get a neck strap or a wrist strap, what bag to put it in and also what would be the two best lenses to carry around with it.

Also, does anybody think that I should fit a thumbs up on it and also should I keep the red dot or blacken it out and if so, should I use insulating tape or a felt tip?

Once I have these matters clear in my mind then I will probably pull the trigger.

Same boat! I would stick with M9. 😃

If I did not have the M10r I would buy the M11.

Owning the M10r the decision is much harder. I would see a benefit in the advanced exposure metering, and also shurt shutter delay when shooting life view (usefull for UWA and longer lenses). I also like the fact that there is less vignetting. The battery is also very nice. I really do like the new EVF and will buy one for sure.

Got the preorder on the first shipment list. 

Just wondering between the color, I prefer the appearance of black but the handheld quality of brass(silver). What a tough dilemma.

No.

Looking at the presentations/hands-on of the M11, present Leica has lost its "shine" for me... It's not a Leica anymore - it's menus and resolution and touchscreen and rolling shutter and/and/and. What's the difference with the latest Sony/Canon/Nikon?

Before was - "are you seeing this? The people at Leica are crazy for introducing this to the market".

Now it has become... just a camera.

I find that it doesnt feel less solid or simple to use than previous M-Bodies.

I will stick with the M10-R, because of this, per Elmar S's review:

But Leica has speeded up the process, so the speed and reactivity of the M11 is as good as the M10 in classic mode. But the shutter has to do a more complex operation (close shutter, exposition with opening and closing the shutter, open shutter again), which makes a different shutter sound. It is not louder than the M10 sound, but it is not like a shot, it is like a short, very fast rumbling. And there is a little sound after turning on the camera. The shutter has to open, what is slightly hearable.

I don't necessarily care about the lag, but the experience is different, and I prefer the M10-R's implementation. However, I will probably give in eventually for the M11-P :')

[Fgcm]

Nice camera, but I switched from the M system to the SL system and Q2. Not planning to buy the M11

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[cobbu2]

I have my trusty M240 that more than meets my requirements, I know I still have yet to fully exploit its capabilities. And two M8s...

[Tom R]

I think not. I have grown rather fond of living without a mortgage ... .
